Firearms Friday: Mauser Trainer

Firearms Friday mini-Mauser

Below the full size is a JW25a, "Mauser trainer". It's a .22lr based off a cz Brno.22 design. Pictured above is a 7.92 x 57 cz Brno Mauser. The .22 version has a 5 shot magazine and will accept a bayonet.
It's substantially shorter and lighter than a real Mauser.

Similar sights

With the sights being very close to the real deal, the .22lr version of the Mauser gives sight experience without the cost of 7.92x57. I hand load 7.92 to proper velocities. It's authentic, but costly and time consuming, sometimes it's just nice to plink away.
